Good nail hardener

a year ago
Not my favorite nails harder, but it does. The job makes the nails hard takes a little bit to dry. It’s effective. The application is a bit tricky, but you get used to it. Think it’s just the shape of the handle

Very good value for money

Gave my nails extra strength to get me through. The application was easy and didn’t take too long to dry. I really put my nails to the test and durability is beyond amazing.

Takes way too long to work!

a year ago
It works decently but takes forever with multiple applications necessary per day. I have very weak nails due to medical issues and was hoping this would help. Although it does work, I subtracted a star because of how long it takes and how much product it takes.

Works well if used correct

a year ago
As someone with extremely brittle nails, I’ve been willing to try anything to help strengthen them. I did notice that over time using this product my nails felt stronger, however the product does peel off/chip after continued layers are applied. The most effective way to apply would probably be to apply to clean nails everyday by removing the previous layer but that can be a bit cumbersome. The product is easy to apply and goes on clear. Also adds a nice shine to the nail.

This bottle can last you a while if you use it right. It's kinda like a clear nail polish.

I recommend this product. Though it has a strong smell to it, it's just like a clear nail polish. But this bottle does last you a while. It's worth the price.

Great product for the price

a year ago
Sally Hansen hard as nails works really well. It is not as expensive as some products but it also isn’t as cheap as others. This is a great middle product that stands a chance and works as effectively as more expensive brands.

Dries Fast. Strong smell.

a year ago
This is a good product. It does seem to add extra strength to my nails. However, there is a downside: it can peel off, and it has a strong smell. Pro: affordable.

Good for daily, not great for full time servers

a year ago
Gave this a 4 instead of a 5 because I’m a server and it chips pretty easily after washing my hands so much at work. It stays on beautifully otherwise. The amount you pay is definitely the quality product you get, it’s mid-tier so it’s not too expensive but it’s not cheap. And it honestly smells like nail polish, but it’s not super potent, but I don’t think there’s a way around that aspect when it comes to polishes.

I can't compare this to other similar products, but I did find this helped to strengthen my nails. They felt thicker and were a lot less prone to breaking.

Great for beginners

this product works amazingly at really hardening nails without using gel polish and it’s a great alternative to acrylics for kids who want a little bit more of a base, but don’t want anything damaging

Miracle worker!

Definitely a lifesaver! Has helped my nails recover after acrylics and uv gel. Also helps them grow out and ensures my nails won’t chip. Doesn’t have a strong scent and leaves nails shiny

Sally Hansen Hard as Nails hardener is really helpful in healing rough thinning nails. I started using this product when I noticed that my nail surface was looking rough, and I've noticed some improvement. This product requires consistent use to be effective.

Sally Hansen Hard as Nails works well. It is great for keeping me from biting my nails. It tastes very nasty which is what makes it effective. The costs worth the results.

Long drying time but worth it!

This really does add durability and shine to your nails! It has a longer drying time but it’s worth it to prevent chips like this does. I have weak nails so this helps them from breaking as much.

If you have brittle nails then this is for you. I generally put on two coats and then reapply in a couple of days. My nails get to a certain point then break, but not with this on.
